Good evening. Thank you.
Here, in row six. Those two chairs.
Good evening.
Good evening, may I your tickets? Thank you.
Excuse me, a mistake has been made.
Here we are, look.
Do notice. The wrong place. - Sorry.
Come.
No, I want to stay.
Are you crazy? - I have to see it.
What is so special about Mengelen? - Mengelberg.
I say so.
Come with me.
This is the men's room.
I...
I'm running after it.
What are you following?
The hygiene.
Men's toilets get dirty faster. We check that extra.
And are you ready with that?
Everything is clean, sir.
You miss the concert. - I've seen it more often.
You forget something.
Do you not have to intervene?
She has to leave. - What? Who?
Does she work for you?
Do not push, I can walk myself.
They had to lock you up.
Can I apologize? - To who? The hall?
To Maestro Mengelberg. - Stay away from him.
A great musician treat you with respect.
You are fired. - You're not my boss.
Mr. Goldsmith?
Sir?
My parents and I visit your lunch concerts for years.
Fixed because they are free.
The trombone played at the end a wrong note...
... just before the repeat of the trio.
They played an E, but it must be an Es.
Wait.
Well noticed. Do you know the trombone part by heart?
Not just that party. Every note.
You still give piano lessons at the conservatory?
Right. - That's what I want to go.
Success with it. - Can I come and play for a time?
I do not like to waste my time. - Me neither.
Tomorrow afternoon, at four o'clock.
I have an appointment with Mr. Goldsmith.
Come on in.
Can I get coffee?
Quiet. I try to work.
The coffee must be ground. - She can do that.
You can enter if there is coffee.
You heard it.
Do not run.
This household is a complete chaos.
Do not mind him, he hears at the furniture.
Frank, this is... What's your name?
Willy Wolters.
Let us not waste time.
Play.
Just stop.
Magnificent. - Do you think?
This wing.
I practice on a piano with lapping against the strings.
Why would you do that?
Otherwise the neighbors will complain.
It's an old thing. My father found it with the garbage.
Garbage? - My father is a garbage man.
Who taught you? - An acquaintance of my mother.
What do you know about Bach?
I play his nuts, sir.
You can only do that if you have him you have studied.
Do you know the biggest Bach expert in the world?
Of course not.
Albert Schweitzer.
He studied Bach as never before.
Unfortunately, he chose doctor to be in the jungle.
What confirms that genius borders with distractions.
Do you find him disturbed?
Yes, he abuses his talent by not using it.
Maybe he has more talent to be a doctor.
Why are you playing like that? - What do you mean?
So without feeling.
I have learned that no one my feeling is waiting.
Do you have to interpret music?
Interpretations can are wrong, nuts are not.
That is science. - Bach composed mathematically.
But spoke the language of God. - Well...
Nobody knows what God is meant, right?
Your technique is terrible.
Your pedal use does not obscure that.
Forget about the conservatory.
They never allow you. - Can you teach me?
I will study hard. Everything to get better.
Can I give you advice?
Get married, get children.
Like your wife?
Yes.
I hope the coffee has tasted.
Peculiar woman.
Pretty attractive.
Wait.
Wait. I can prepare you for admission.
I would be crazy, right?
Three lessons a week, two dollars per hour?
Well?
What do you think?
TYPISED WANTED
You get ten minutes.
You. Too slow, nails too long.
Too many mistakes. And you...
Fast fingers, short nails, no mistakes.
You can start tomorrow. - Really? Thank you.
I'm coming for that job from wardrobe lady.
That is already gone.
You did not get it. - Why not?
We work here for the tips. Therefore.
Turned down? - Five times today.
You just have to stand out in this profession.
I have a big problem if I do not like it.
I would like to help you, but we do not need anyone.
Except a pianist.
You play too stiff. Slide up.
Let yourself go.
Why are you looking for a pianist? if you can do it yourself?
Because I prefer to play bass.
Robin?
Do you have a cigarette?
Does it bother you? People come especially for her.
Him.
You have to see it like this:
We are all born naked.
The rest is only a disguise.
And now our fantastic female impersonator:
The famous Miss Denise.
Thank you.
What do we have here?
A na-monkey star behind the piano.
Are you trying to impress me? Or...
... are you a real woman?
Tricky to say, do not you think?
Someone is sticking out his neck for you.
Because we all see that this is a male band.
Say, what's your name?
Willy.
So because you do not have willy, your parents called you but Willy.
Let's see what she can.
You can join this weekend.
That is too heavy for my wife.
My audition is next week.
It is an interesting environment.
There will be a lot leading musicians.
You look nice.
Thank you.
Hello, Mark. We were just called by your wife.
The delivery has begun.
Then I can not stay. - Our driver will take you back.
I'm coming. - No, stay.
You are here now.
Who am I satisfied with?
This is Willy Wolters, a student of mine.
Nice to meet you, Mrs...
Thomsen. And this is Mr. Thomsen. - Hello, Willy.
The servant takes you to your room. Then you can...
Refresh yourself.
Where are you going?
The other way.
The staircase is here.
What are you doing here?
Same as you, I think.
This is the house of my parents. I grew up here.
I am the guest of Mr. Goldsmith.
He did not say anything.
I am not responsible for what he tells you.
If you do not impose yourself to the musicians.
That's the last thing I would do.
We know what you are capable of.
Now it is clear that you are a gentleman...
... can you behave like that?
Can someone take me to to bring the station?
The table is already covered.
Nobody will miss me.
But I do.
You are my table guest. So change quickly.
We've been waiting for you.
Excuse me...
You are familiar. Have we met before?
Her name is Willy.
Can you tell us something about yourself?
There is not much to tell.
Did not you sit in front at my concert?
Yes that was me.
You?
Forget it.
I assume you did not have money for the first row?
The staff is not allowed sitting in the room.
Do you work there?
Not anymore.
I'm out of there.
I hear a vague accent. Where are you from?
From Holland, sir.
A compatriot. Frank, you always say:
'All good comes from the Netherlands.'
Why did you read the score?
What did she say?
She wants to be a conductor.
I know the music world well...
... but I never got it female conductor heard.
Have you ever met one?
To my best knowledge, they are not there.
Women do not have t to do for men.
Maybe she's right.
My wife was for our marriage a skillful singer.
Yes, but conductor...
You will never succeed?
America is the country of the possibilities.
Not for everyone.
Do you admire the stars in the sky?
No, only the flowers on my feet.
Thank you for not saying that I...
Well, you know.
It's okay.
Have you found new work?
Yes.
True?
Something in music.
Yes but where?
To be laughed at once is enough.
Sorry.
That was rude.
Shall we Dance?
Keep quiet.
Stop that.
Stop.
Silence.
Mr. Goldsmith is inside. - How did it go?
I've been hired. - Congratulations.
Do you want a lift? Where are you going?
Home, by bus. - It's only a lift.
Its not far. - You're so away from me again.
We did not say goodbye, and as you said:
I must behave like a gentleman.
Someone is moving.
Here it is.
Your parents will be proud.
I'm going away for a few weeks Prepare a tour.
When I'm back...
... can I see you again?
You know where to find me now.
Can I sleep here tonight?
That piano gave me comfort. Without that thing...
... I had gone crazy.
We all have that. - You too?
Even I.
Do not despair.
Just dust yourself and start again.
What does a man know about dusting?
More than you, Scrubby Dutch.
I'll show you the house.
This is my bedroom.
Nobody has something to look for here, so I keep it closed.
I have my own bathroom, but you can use it.
And here you sleep.
How can I thank you? I will pay for it.
We'll see that later.
Robin...
Is concealment the same as lying?
Are you waiting for me?
We fall for another band.
True? - Here.
What?
No, my classmates will see me soon.
They are probably not there. It is a party for lenders.
Willy?
How are you?
Could not be better.
Are you also invited?
Hello, Mrs. Thomsen.
Willy, this is Emma.
We have known Emma for years, through her parents.
We hope she and Frank to get engaged.
We do not know anything about that.
I'm going already. - Of course, you are right.
Really good to see you.
Come in.
I was looking for Robin.
Who is Robin?
A friend?
Something like that.
First greet my father, otherwise his heart breaks.
How are you? - Good.
We just said that musical talent sometimes reveal itself early.
Does that also apply to you? - I was five.
I walked past a church, and heard the organ.
The Rothchilds are there. Something interesting.
I had never heard anything like that. I did not come into the church.
People even listened in the street.
Do you know how much they donated?
I slipped and climbed the stairs. There was the organist.
No idea who it was, but...
... I was enchanted, I kept looking.
More than five thousand dollars.
Only later did I hear that Albert Schweitzer was.
From that moment on I begged for a piano.
Schweitzer is never been in the US.
We lived in the Netherlands. He played Bach.
Are your parents musical?
No. They are not my real parents. I have been adopted.
Have your own parents died? - No.
Nothing is known about my father, and my mother sold me.
My foster parents bought me. I mean, adopted me.
I have to find out what they have paid.
So you're actually different? - Yes.
How? - That does not matter.
It has happened to me. I was two.
Interesting enough for you?
I thought so.
I made it all up.
I have to go.
Did you have to embarrass her like that? - Excuse me?
Why so light-hearted? - She pretends I'm not there.
I do not understand you.
Then find better company.
Did you have a fight? - I was looking for the podium.
Do you know who that is? - Yes, his name is Frank.
Frank Thomsen, one of the greatest concert managers.
As long as he leaves me alone.
Ready.
Are you afraid of me? - Oh no, sir.
It is as if I have known you for years.
I feel that you are m very much admired.
Is not that right, Willy?
I admire you because I am want to be the same as you.
What? Teacher? - No, conductor.
You say that only because you are in love with me.
I say it because I want to be conductor.
That is impossible.
Women do not become a conductor.
They can not. - Why not?
They can not lead.
But you can teach me.
A woman with a stick, that wild is gesturing for men?
Very unattractive. - Who cares?
I.
I want you to look beautiful.
Is it about power? - Power? No.
I just want to lose myself in music.
And I want to lose myself in you.
Just remember...
... that women are under. They come far enough with that.
Please. Stop.
You broke it.
Get out.
He claims that you are him, I quote:
"Hysterical attack when I criticized her piano playing. "
Hysterical? - That's here.
So it is his word against mine?
That's what it comes down to. There are no witnesses.
He withdraws the charg if you leave the training.
Where should I sign?
What is your name, honey?
Willy... - Brico.
Antonia Brico.
Please.
With a new life hear new music.
Willy Wolters? - One floor higher.
Mrs Wolters?
I'm looking for Willy. - He does not live here anymore.
Where is she? I can not find her.
If you can not find her, she does not want to be found.
Come on, Robin. Do not be a push, defend yourself.
Breaker.
Did you know that Robin ever had an accident?
No, I did not know that.
He has had a bad back since then. He is wearing a corset.
Like me.
Never seen?
I forgot how mysterious you do that.
AMERICAN AMBASSADE THE HAGUE
Robin?
What are you doing here?
A letter from the embassy.
Bad news?
They found her. - You wanted that?
She is dead.
Now I can only visit her grave.
Does it hurt?
Every day.
Do you know how long I've been looking for?
You disappeared without notice. And now you are fleeing again.
We go in the brea to the dressing room.
You can not just people on the side.
Why do not you go to school? - Ask Goldsmith.
I have done that. - And what did he say?
I finally found you. That's what it's about.
How are you?
It's okay. I am going to travel soon.
Where to? - To the Netherlands.
When? - About a week.
You can not go. - Why not?
Because I can not miss you.
Antonia, we are going to start. - I'm coming.
Antonia? - That's my name.
So that adoption story is true? - Yes, Frank.
I'm a bastard.
Stop. - Why are you doing this?
Antonia...
I do not want to say goodbye.
I want to be with you.
I want that too.
Forget about that journey and stay.
Dear Frank.
I'm staying in a lovely hotel...
... in a room with a beautiful view.
Do not be afraid, you hit me do not lose to the music.
I can not listen to music, and I can not afford a concert.
I do not mind.
Now I have you.
I love Amsterdam.
I examine every street and every alley.
What am I looking for?
I do not know.
I do not know anyone here.
In the meantime I gather courage for more to find out about my family.
Who is this lady?
You know her, Willy.
Does she now have an artist name?
A telegram, sir.
MISS BRICO ASKS TO EXECUTIVE LESSONS
WHAT SHOULD I DO? WILLEM MENGELBERG
Make sure this is sent quickly.
SEND HER TO HOME
My name is Antonia.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Antonia.
What do you want?
My name is Antonia Brico. Nice to meet you.
I'm coming for Mr. Muck. - Where are you from?
I am from america. - Mr. Muck is not home.
Moreover, he is not too disturb for twelve hours.
Else?
What is this?
And who are you? - She's from the US.
I am not at home for Americans.
I am Dutch. Still. I am never national.
I have a letter of recommendation.
From Maestro Mengelberg.
A letter of recommendation.
What must that bastard do?
If he calls this a recommendation, I eat my cigarette.
I want to be a conductor.
I have a prejudice about women.
Is he a friend of yours? - Who?
Albert Schweitzer.
We have a few things in common.
He was in the Great War caught in France.
He had done nothing, but he was German.
You condemn me, not because I'm doing something wrong...
... but because I am American...
... or Dutchman, or woman, or young, or non-smoker.
I call that short-sighted. - Then just short-sighted.
In his book about Bach...
... he writes that artists await their big day...
... and exhausting up to that time.
That's about me.
Are you already attacking?
Not yet.
Schweitzer gave up the music for another life.
I am so crazy about my life to give up for music.
With or without your help...
... I will be a conductor.
So...
You want to exhaust yourself, you say?
Dear Robin.
After some wanderings I have now arrived in Berlin.
I get lessons from Karl Muck.
Of course that does not mean anything to you, but he is great.
I finally learn what it's about.
Unlike Mengelberg Muck gives me a fair chance.
He helped me with my permission at the Rijksacademie voor Muziek.
I have to make it happen here.
They take responsibility for the management only two candidates.
And they have never a woman adopted.
Hello, Frank. How are you?
Have you heard from Antonia yet? - Does not she write you?
No... Not for a while.
Any idea when she comes back?
She wrote from Berlin. - Berlin?
She wants to follow Board at the Rijksacademie.
How long does that study last? - Two years.
Two years? Where does she get the money?
Is that the first thing you think about?
They never let her.
You underestimate her.
She has already been accepted.
On Dutch courage.
A woman against a hundred men.
What are you going to do so that they follow you?
Are you going for the soft approach, or the hard?
And another thing, Brico...
If you sweat, you can not.
The crescendo goes from pianissimo to forte...
... and you only do mezzoforte. It was not right either.
Right. You have to be a conductor-tyrant are, not a democrat.
Can we talk somewhere?
The soup of the day.
Onion soup.
And the schnitzel. Enjoy your meal.
I am proud that you have been accepted.
Is that right?
You should have written that to me.
I have a letter of recommendation from Mengelberg.
He's hanging over my bed.
He is addressed to Muck, who hates America and women.
Do you know what he wrote?
All good comes from the Netherlands.
Except for me.
I quickly understood who was behind it.
I was hoping you would come back.
Still, actually.
I love you.
You think so. - How do you know what I feel?
I am not suitable. Look at your parents...
... and then to mine.
I do not care. I want you.
I want to get married, have children.
You can find someone.
Are you saying that you do not love me?
Does it taste?
Yes delicious.
I thought you did not like onions.
I need to know, so I want to like to hear yes or no.
If you say yes, I will wait for you.
Will you marry me?
May I think about it?
You know what to choose?
What hurts the least.
You're going to say no.
This world will never let you go.
Mengelberg's wife was a fantastic singer.
What does that matter?
She no longer sings.
Miss Brico.
Always the first.
Miss Brico, always the last.
'The biggest challenge in art is dealing with disappointment. '
FROM MY CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH ALBERT SCHWEITZER
You can say that it comes from the US, but not who the giver is?
Like I said, I can not say that.
It must be from Frank Thomsen. Or his father, Mr. Thomsen?
It comes from a woman that supports the arts.
A woman who supports the arts?
Here, the first woman who does it Berlin Philharmonic conducts.
You should have been that, no Viennese aunt.
That aunt wants the same as me.
The orchestra does not have one trust in her.
Her husband had five thousand D marks advance, for orchestra and hall.
So if nobody comes, is he sitting with the noose?
Watch my words: that is your foreland.
Well, do you want to go there?
Here, I can give them away.
They do not want an empty room.
No...
Dear Frank, I have heard that you are engaged.
I should never have rejected you, and I beg you:
Give me a chance, and not be loyal.
Worthless.
From the podium.
She is being slaughtered. - They just want their money back.
Was she so bad?
Mediocre at best.
They want their money back because they are lured with a fake ad:
'Rich widow seeks husband'.
Made by Frau Mayer.
You are next.
Do you still dare?
What the hell are you doing?
I have to make a dress for you.
Do not you see that I'm at work?
Have you seen it?
WOMAN UNSUITABLE TO LEAD ORCHESTRA
People want to see you fail.
But the good news is: the concert is completely sold out.
My dearest Frank, I do not know what inspired me.
I love you and I miss you.
After my education I come to America.
Why do not you write back?
Herr Muck, Miss Brico is not here.
Wait, sir. - Where is her room?
What now?
Are you a little child?
Ready for mothers skirts to crawl?
Which mother? - You tell me.
Well, are you coming? They are waiting for you.
Nobody is waiting for me.
This is your big day. - To be booed?
Or hailed.
I only see an abyss.
It's always there, even if you are successful.
The higher you rise, the deeper you fall.
So do I collapse anyway?
That's part of the game. You should learning to play alone.
You have easy talk. You are not called Mayer or Brico.
You are a hero.
At my last concert in America the police got me off the podium...
... under loud boos from the public. - Why?
I refused it American anthem.
I said: I am German, it is not my national anthem.
Then they have me a year and a half locked up.
Only because it was war, I was the enemy.
Just like Albert Schweitzer.
Was I a hero then?
Nobody thought that.
Only myself.
Sometimes that's enough.
You sweat.
Not anymore.
YANKEE GIRL STARS BERLIN CRITICIA
MISS BRICO TRIOMFEERT IN BERLIN
AMERICAN WOMAN LEADS BERLIN ORKEST
ANTONIA BRICO TRIOMFEERT IN BALTIC STATES, BERLIN AND LONDON
Do you remember her?
Antonia Brico? Never met.
She used to work for you as an ouvreuse. Willy Wolters.
Is she that?
She has caused a furore in Europe.
Would it be her here? to conduct?
Are you ready? Your parents are there. - I'll be right.
Give me the music editor from the New York Times.
You get a concert, but you have to buy half of the cards.
How much does that cost?
Pay it Forward.
Do you ask all conductors?
Only large ones occur here names. So you do not.
I did well in Europe. - If you call six concerts well.
I take a huge risk.
I can not afford that. - Then my offer expires.
Are you going back to Europe now?
If I succeed, I'll get it more concerts?
Are you going to set requirements now? - Please.
More concerts are very important to me. Please?
Are you begging now?
There she is.
Can I have your reaction? Is it right? that you are going to conduct here?
Yes that's right.
And if people want to buy tickets, they can contact me.
This is what I missed most.
I have been in such a past year dirty cellars played.
Incognito, of course. As Willy Wolters.
I survived there, by what I have learned here.
Always happy to help.
Are you serious?
Stop.
The trombones start too early.
Now the bassoons are a little too early.
If you are absolutely on it to bet unequally...
... then the trombones first.
Four cards?
Mr Barnes...
Ticket sales are running storm. I'll be sold out in an hour.
Can I still get a concert?
What now?
Did you have something to say? - The concert is tomorrow.
I do not have to stop, if you does what I say. Once again.
Are not you playing?
Not for a woman who does not know its place.
I know my place very well. That is here.
Again.
I have taken your instrument. How does that feel?
Careful, that's a Stradivarius. - Oh, a Stradivarius?
So you care about this instrument?
Then we are right. - How so?
This orchestra is my instrument.
I can do without orchestra members Do not play my instrument.
Do you know what a soloist says? if he does not practice one day?
"Do not practice one day, I only hear.
Do not practice two days, hears the orchestra.
Three days, that's what the audience belongs to. "
Do not you think this is for conducting?
Do you know how many concerts? to be on my agenda?
One.
Then there is a big emptiness.
Do you know how much my male to give colleagues there?
Four, sometimes five per month. Throughout the year.
Is that fair?
No.
As if you throw a bread crust to someone who is starving.
Applaud, my friend. The performance is over.
You can not just walk away.
We have an appointment.
My instrument. Please, take it.
Without his player the instrument is worth nothing.
Does this mean you'll come tomorrow?
No.
I wait until I hear from you.
Do you want to do the concert tomorrow?
Sorry, I do not understand you.
Please.
Please what?
Miss Brico, you want tomorrow please do the concert?
Mr. Barnes, are you begging now?
Yes. - And my condition?
You will receive a second concert.
Do you want to go to Antonia Brico's concert? I can get tickets.
Are not you curious about her?
No, I do not have to see her.
If I close my eyes...
... I do not hear that to conduct a woman.
Unemployed musicians?
Do I have to direct the unemployed? Does he want me to get rid of me?
The government wants to train them keep for better times.
We still got great press?
That is exactly what Barnes is bothering.
You get too much attention. - That is good, right?
You feel sewn. But be happy:
You get money and you are allowed to conduct.
What's the point, if no one hears it?
I do not do it.
Am I too early?
Where are all gentlemen?
The New Jersey Symphony holds audition.
What are you doing here? - They only search for men.
Only the men, hu?
Robin, you always say:
"To make it into this course, do you have to stand out? '
That is exactly what I am going to do.
'Wanted. Conductor Antonia Brico is looking for female musicians...
... for a women's orchestra.
There are vacancies for this all instruments. "
Let's see.
"According to Mark Goldsmith, a celebrated conductor and pianist...
... a woman never becomes a prominent conductor.
Miss Brico can be happy with a place in the margin...
... before she falls into oblivion. "
AUDITION
FEMALE MUSICI INFERIOR
Who has read this article?
Thank you for coming anyway.
None of you was 'inferior'.
Good, ladies. This way.
Can the bass player stay?
Can I speak to her alone?
What's your name?
Roberta.
Jones.
Roberta Jones.
Robin...
Are not you dressed up as a woman?
With your wig, fake breasts and make-up, like Miss Denise?
Is this a statement from you? To support me?
I am not dressed as a woman.
What?
This one...
... are real.
Why did not I see that before?
Because I can hide things well.
You never had an accident?
Only the accident as a woman to be born.
Did you want to be a man?
I wanted to be a musician.
When I go on a stage, I come home.
Just like you.
That's why I've supported you, when you were in Berlin.
Was that money coming from you?
From a woman who supports the arts.
Then I must thank you.
I'm sorry, I had no idea.
About that...
About anything, actually.
The price can be too high, Antonia...
... but at least we do it.
At least we do.
I think I'd rather stay who I was.
Who are you then?
I am myself.
Did Miss Brico have anything to say?
She said, "Music does not matter discrimination in sex. '
MUSIC DOES NOT KNOW SEX
Town Hall is available. - Good grace, Town Hall?
Too many chairs. How do you get it full?
I thought of advertisements in the newspaper, and invite the higher circles.
I do not know those people, do you?
Yes, but you have also their addresses?
Mr. Goldsmith, what do you think? from Antonia's plan?
Where shall I begin?
She went conducting because she had no piano talent.
A calculated choice.
She just wants to be famous to become. She has no passion.
Why does Mr. Goldsmith say that? Does he feel threatened by me?
There are still many unemployed musicians?
Miss Brico has also been unemployed for years. That is not for nothing.
We are in the midst of a major crisis.
We do not have enough work, not too little talent.
It is abnormal.
What? Women?
It is against all tradition.
We serve the music, not the dusty clichés.
Women imagine so much. Think they can do everything.
Your own fault if they fail. Women do not play trombone or horn.
Just write:
Miss Brico will never be a female timpanist.
Willy Wolters...
If you want to stand in front of you, go ahead.
But a whole orchestra of it women go too far.
Let me guess, you support Goldsmith. - Of course.
I want to prevent you make a spectacle of yourself.
People love spectacle. I like that to my audience.
You invite my whole circle of friends...
... and I will do everything to make sure they do not go.
Do what you want, but let me do that too.
Have a nice day.
What does our advertisement do here? In the auto section?
Who looks at that? What a waste of money.
I think Mrs Thomsen contacts with the newspaper.
Are there reservations already?
Is that all?
So we play for an empty room?
We have to cancel Town Hall.
I tried, but we did have to pay anyway.
Pay? By which? What a disaster.
Let's just continue.
How do we pay our musicians? - They want to play for free.
For nothing? - Not everyone is against us.
Good.
Then we give them at least an audience.
We make the concert free, and pay Town Hall later.
No more costs only free publicity.
A letter.
From the first lady. - What?
"To Miss Brico, from Eleanor Roosevelt. "
Do you know if it takes a long time? - Just a second.
I have to go to the radio, I have been waiting for half an hour.
No one says Mrs. Roosevelt to shoot.
Hey. - Mr. Goldsmith.
Miss Brico, it was nice to meet you.
The man who told you about it was right.
May I ask who that was? - He asked that secret.
We respect that.
That's what he said about you when you were was attacked in the press.
"A great musician treat you with respect. '
He is sure that you are high.
He pays the room.
If I can give you advice:
Do what your heart tells you.
Criticism will get you anyway.
The public wants to know: are women suitable as a musician?
Do not forget that there 17 million radios.
Millions of ears listen to it.
His orchestras to a cultural change?
This has nothing to do with culture.
It is doubtful entertainment.
A cry for attention.
Say honestly, you would have a ticket buy for her concert?
Not me.
We liked it Miss Brico asked.
But she is not there yet.
That is why it does not work either: women are always too late.
Do not you just hate to women as orchestra leader?
I only say what the public thinks. - Mrs Brico never becomes maestra Brico?
No.
Her first concert is in Town Hall, with 1500 seats.
Does she sell so many cards?
She is going back. I hear...
... that the concert is free.
Does not she want to earn anything?
It's an emergency, there is no interest at all.
Miss Brico just arrived. What do you think?
That emergency is because of the crisis.
So that the concert is also accessible for people without money.
So I want the public calls to come.
I'm sorry I'm late. I had an important appointment.
What is more important then your doomed project?
I used to be a teacher from Mr. Goldsmith.
He already had a peculiar one at that time conception about women.
They must be under.
That is how I learned how to get on top.
I still take that...
Kwalijk?
No...
I accept that. Really.
I just had an appointment with our first lady.
Nobody tells her to shoot.
Had it to do with your women's orchestra?
Hell yes.
She has just arrived connected to our orchestra.
We are honored that they are being a patroness.
It proves that even in it the highest circles are interested.
What can I do for you? - I come for Frank Thomsen.
Who can I say that there is? - An old friend.
You're too fast for me.
You...
Hello, Frank.
I see you have a son.
Yes...
What's your name?
Will.
William.
Can you just bring it up?
Nice kid.
What are you doing? Do you want to come in?
No, do not bother. I have to leave again.
I came to thank you. For what you did.
What then?
Mrs Roosevelt? And Town Hall?
That does not mean anything. - For me.
I did not know right away that you pulled some strings.
I owe you.
See it as my wa apologize.
What for?
I asked you to abuse your talen by not using it.
You once called that disturbed.
You are not disturbed.
That was me.
When I let you go.
That also counts for me.
I have to go I will not disturb you any longer.
Are you coming to the concert?
No...
I am staying at home.
At William.
Maybe Emma is going.
How is it outside - One big spectacle.
Good evening, Mme First Lady.
What an honor to meet you Really a privilege.
You can not enter. The room is full.
Please stay there We are full.
Hello, sir.
People no longer have decency.
I think it's Frank.
